TWO accountancy firms with 96 years experience between them have joined.

The merger between Pinfield and Company, Bromsgrove, and Foster and Company, Stourbridge, has resulted in a 21 strong practice, with a view to future growth.

Established in Bromsgrove in 1938, three generations of Pinfields have been actively involved in H F Pinfield & Co, now run by Keith Pinfield and his son Nicholas.

The firm has now fully merged with Foster and Company, in Stourbridge, founded in 1972 by Guy Foster. The enlarged Practice will trade via a Limited Company, Pinfields Limited, although each office will continue under their existing names.
